Cicero posted:I don't think the differences between the two are really that extreme: The article says the differences is more and more people are having to work part time. The economist just had a great article that, at least in the US, the choice is become more stark in working many hours and making alot, or working few hours, but making much less. http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21600989-why-rich-now-have-less-leisure-poor-nice-work-if-you-can-get-out. I don't know how much more extreme you can go from 35 hours a week full time to 47. It's equivalent to doing another 6 hours on both Saturday and Sunday week in, week out.

Mining engineer in Tennessee, and I am usually out of the office in 45-50 hours a week. That time includes "unpaid lunch" as a salaried employee that typically accounts for 30-40 minutes of my time daily.

N.N. Ashe posted:I'm seeing Vietnam, Korea, etc are higher. Gallup is saying average is 47 though. http://www.gallup.com/poll/175286/hour-workweek-actually-longer-seven-hours.aspx. Not sure what your saying with the PRC bit? PRC =China. I'd used the OECD for stats on workweek instead of Gallup. The stats are really on what companies and people are reporting. In all the countries I mentioned, businesses usually keep two sets of books for reporting purposes. Office jobs in those countries may only be around the average but factory jobs will be significantly higher as those hours are not getting reported. I'd say that most factories I've worked with in other countries hit 60 a week easy and the worst I've seen is around 80. The US workweek really isn't bad by comparison. We'll except agriculture. Seasonal agriculture definitely surpasses the 50 mark.

I work 40-50/wk as an hourly accountant in an investment accounting department of a 3bn financial instrument company, 50 being first 8 days of Q/YE. My salaried coworkers work 50-70, 70 being at quarter/year-end months and for 3+ weeks. Ugh I'm so looking forward to that.

Research engineer (i.e. "rocket scientist") for  . I could work 40/wk but probably average closer to 50-55 by choice. On flight test projects it can go up to 70/wk, especially when stuff goes wrong--that's typically a month out of every year.

I'm a salaried field service engineer. I'm expected to be "in the field" for 80% of a 40hr work week or 4 8 hour days with 1 8 hour day in the office. Don't work nearly that amount due to how scattered and remote my customers are. The result is I spend a lot of time in small towns with my finger in my rear end waiting for my flight home.

40 hrs on the dot working for the feds (though the money runs through the state) doing social security disability stuff. Overtime is sometimes available, depends on the financial quarter and what the big wigs decide the focus is going to be (only get the OT hrs if they need to produce more of my claim type, obviously). Never a minute over 40 hours otherwise, that's good enough for government work.

50 standard, but i'm an art director and responsible for the output of 5 other people (3 new hires) so i'm frequently babysitting for most of the day and having to do my own work after they've gone home. probably averaging 70 at the moment. compensation is lacking and there's no overtime pay, but I love the projects we get in and it's going to leave me in a good place for consulting work.

I'm an engineering grad student. I'd say I do about 45-50 hours a week between classes, TAing, meetings, coding, writing, reading papers and just sitting at my desk or pacing while thinking. This is a much healthier schedule for me because I put in crazy hours when I started and nearly burned myself out. Near submission deadlines it goes up a ton.

40-45 depending on work load, with ~4 of those hours being evenings at home. I work for an engineering firm and take some time several nights a week to email out completed jobs to clients from home to save some time the next day. I'm hourly too, so overtime every week while I'm dicking around at the house is nice.

55-60 hours a week as an Intermodal Truck Dispatcher. It's paid hourly so I don't resent the hours at all. I usually leave for the night when I reach the tipping point between "I want more money" and "I'm tired."

40/week as an entry level software developer. Also I'm doing full time grad school still, online, so that takes up an extra 20-30 hours a week as well. Only about ten months left - I can't wait to be done.

I work 40 hr/week as an urban planner for a municipal government. Occasionally I'll put in some extra time, but I'm supposed to take off an equal amount of hours in the next pay period or two. I love our flex time policy so much. e: I also have an hour unpaid for lunch or errands every day

GAYS FOR DAYS posted:I'm supposed to work, and get paid to work 40 hours a week, but I'm probably only here 35 or so hours a week. This, although I'm expected to work more like 45+ hour a week. Sometimes I get really busy and end up actually working like 50 hours a week, but that's pretty rare. 30-35 is pretty average.
